how to hang art without nails

3mpicturehangingstrips apartmenttherapy how to hang art without nails

Have you ever used anything from the 3M Command system? We use a lot of the small hooks on the inside of cupboard doors and other places that might be too awkward to put a nail. Plus I have a pack of their tiny hooks for hanging holiday lights inside our house this year.

I recently saw picture hanging strips at my local office supply store – brilliant! It’s like velcroing framed art to your wall! I wish these were around back when I rented an apartment. I haven’t tried them out yet, but I thought I’d pass the idea along to you. Have you used the 3M picture hanging strips? Or do you have another non-destructive solution for hanging artwork?

I saw this polaroid heart in Cookie magazine last year and I can’t stop thinking about it.  It’s so inspiring!  Think of all the different shapes that you could do.  A wave could be really cool, especially if you could organize the images by colour so it really flows across the wall. Read More »
